To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 181.72 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 181.72, so we can write it down as 100%=181.72.
4. We know, that x% equals 126.82 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=126.82.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=181.72
2) x%=126.82
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=181.72/126.82
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 126.82 is what percent of 181.72

(100/x)*x=(181.72/126.82)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4328970193976*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4328970193976) to get x
100/1.4328970193976=x
69.788685890381=x
x=69.788685890381

now we have:
